Aromatherapy for the Soul by Valerie Ann Worwood - This is one of my favorite books and the one I turn to for understanding essential oils on an emotional and spiritual level. It has inspired me for most of my creations.
The Fragrant Mind by Valerie Ann Worwood - Another favorite of mine. This fascinating book covers essential oils on mind, mood, and emotion and introduces Aroma-Genera: The human personality of essential oils.

Andrea was one of the first teachers who brought Aromatherapy to the United States. She founded the aromatherapy school Aromahead Institute, reaching students from all over the world.
